General Motors recalls trucks with possible airbag problems

The passenger airbag may not fully inflate

The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public notification of a recall being conducted by the Chilean Ministry of Health for chicken products after official notification from the government of Chile of the positive result for dioxin.

FSIS has determined that 188,522 lbs of chicken may be affected and 126,082 lbs is currently being held. The agency is investigating the distribution of the remaining 62,440, lbs. and verifying if additional shipments are involved. FSIS may expand the public notification and will take necessary and appropriate action after analyzing updated information received from the government of Chile.

FSIS is performing effectiveness checks in the U.S. by verifying that those companies who have received implicated product from the Chile-initiated recall have been notified and that all adulterated product is held and destroyed.

FSIS has conducted an analysis of the Chilean test results and determined that the risk to consumers is negligible. The agency continues to investigate distribution of the product and will take immediate action on new information.

FSIS is not announcing a recall at this time because the establishment most directly associated with producing the adulterated product has recalled product and USDA works with its counterparts to conduct effectiveness checks in U.S. In this case, the Chilean Ministry of Health initiated a recall of this product.

General Motors Recalls Chevy Volts

The front brakes could lock up

General Motors is recalling four model year 2012 Chevrolet Volt vehicles manufactured March 1, 2012, through April 17, 2012.

Due to a brake pressure modulator valve problem, the vehicles do not relieve brake pressure from the front brakes during an anti-lock brake system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), or traction control event. One or both front brakes may lock up and not release, which could cause a loss of steering control and/or a lengthened distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will install a new brake pressure modulator valve free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 12, 2013.

Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546. GM's recall number is 13184.

Honda re-recalls Fit vehicles

A fix from an earlier recall may not have done the job

Honda is re-recalling 143,083 model year 2007-2008 Fit vehicles covered under a recall issued in 2010. The remedy applied in the earlier recall may have b...

Honda is re-recalling 143,083 model year 2007-2008 Fit vehicles covered under a recall issued in 2010.

The remedy applied in the earlier recall may have been insufficient. In the affected vehicles, over time, the plastic cover may separate from the master power window switch allowing water to enter the driver's window and reach the master power window switch.

If the master power window switch is damaged as a result of the water intrusion, overheating and failure of the switch may result. An overheated switch can cause smoke, melting and fire.

Honda will notify owners in July 2013, and will instruct owners to take their vehicles to dealers to have a free inspection conducted. If the switch is damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. If the switch is not damaged, the owners will be instructed to await a second notification that will instruct them to return to the dealer to have a replacement switch installed free of charge.

Honda says it expects to have sufficient parts inventory to notify owners of vehicles with undamaged switches to return to dealers for replacement switches in Fall 2013.

Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. Honda's recall number is JA6.

The recall codes are located on the back of the package with the words "BEST BY" followed by the code T122114 sequentially through T053115, followed by a letter. All letter designations are included in the recall.

Townsend Farms is expanding the recall after the FDA and the CDC confirmed that the epidemiological evidence supports a clear association between the hepatitis A illness outbreak and one lot of organic pomegranate seeds used in the Frozen Organic Antioxidant blend subject to the recall.

The epidemiological evidence does not support an association between the illness outbreak and the four other berry products (raspberry, blueberry, strawberry and dark cherry) in the Frozen Organic Antioxidant blend (and which have also been used in other Townsend Farms Frozen Organic products) or any other Fresh or Frozen berry products produced by Townsend Farms.

For questions or more information, contact Townsend Farms Customer Service Representative by phone at 1-800-875-5291 Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. PDT, or by email to townsendfarms5148@stericycle.com.
